[Serious] With about 20% of the season completed, who would you rank as the best defenders this season? (alien.top)

I think my list will have Rudy, AD, Bam Adebayo, Brook Lopez, Mitchell Robinson as the top 5 defenders in my DPOY race so far.

Other Notable defenders: OG, Dillon Brooks, Herb Jones, Alex Caruso all deserve some appreciation

Tatum doesn't get enough credit for being a defender. Best 2 way wing in the NBA.

He never campaigns for it, but he's been playing 2nd team defense almost his entire career.

He's a VERY good team defender, and is a very good man defender. Teams never attack him on defense. Never.

I personally think Brown has been better than Tatum so far this year. Tatum gets beat by smaller, quicker guys and Gets bullied by bigger guys. Brown is just a better POA defender since he is quicker and has a longer wingspan. Tatum is a better defensive rebounder.

Both fall asleep off-ball too much tho.
